Immersing learners in Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality (VR) is a wholly manufactured experience. Learners can use mobile devices, often worn (so as to respond to head movements), to see and interact with a visual depiction of a place, person or object.

The location of the learner is not material to the experience because it is divorced wholly from needing to be in a real place or time.

Virtual Reality allows students to become immersed in a synthetic world, where all the senses can be used to recreate as close to an authentic experience as possible.

Aim

This module will help you learn about the benefits and ways of using virtual reality with your learners.

Objective

After completing this module, you will be able to:

• describe and explain the capabilities of VR to create realistic visual learning experiences
• assess the potential for VR to enhance your own teaching practice.

Allow learners actively to engage
with subject matter using digital
technologies, e.g. using different
senses, manipulating virtual objects,
varying the problem set up to enquire
into its structure, etc.

Promote active learning in a given
learning context or for a specific
learning objective using appropriate
digital technologies.

Reflect on how suitable the different
digital technologies used are in
increasing learners' active learning,
and to adapt strategies and choices
accordingly.

Thought the module presented clearly the TLA opportunities offered by VR and gave some good examples on the type of learning activities that could be delivered.
